A NEW walking football project for people living with Parkinson’s and long-term conditions is set to kick off in Redditch.
Neuro Walking Football Worcestershire’s Movers and Shakers group will give people living with Parkinson’s and other neurological conditions from Redditch and the surrounding areas an opportunity to get active in a fun and social way.
The sessions are designed to be inclusive, with all ages and abilities welcome to come along and have a go.
Relatives, carers and friends are invited to attend and cheer loved ones on, and everyone is welcome to stay for a coffee and a chat in the club cafe after the workout.
The hour-long classes will include warm-ups, training drills and friendly matches, overseen by experienced coaches who can target problem areas associated with Parkinson’s such as balance, strength and coordination.
